the following:

I've had maybe 3 thunderstorms in 10 years. I am in a mountain river
valley 25 mile north of the Santa Monica bay, at ca. 1,800' AMSL. It's
just like Tennessee, minus the crackers.


3?

We've had at least 500 thunderstorms in the last 10 years. The ones
recorded in databases are only severe storms. But run of the mill
storms, it's in the hundreds here. IT SUCKS!

I'm needing an answer to this question.

Would I really decrease my chances of severe weather If I moved from
Chattanooga to Johnson city tennessee?
